remove backround on ipad

I have the iPad 6th generation running iPadOS version 16.1.1(20B101). My question is when I use the new remove backround in my photos I get the check mark, that I think is a confirmation that it did the function, however I have no idea where to find the updated photo. According to what I read it should be in my photo's, however it is no where to be found. What am I missing?

Thanks.

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

Presumably you refer to the new iPadOS16 feature for automatically clipping a subject or object from an image.


Along with some other new elements of iPadOS functionality, this feature is not available for all models of iPad that support iPadOS16 - as specific system hardware (CPU/SoC and RAM) capabilities are required.


This specific feature is available for these models of iPad:

  • iPad mini (5th generation and later)
  • iPad (9th generation and later)
  • iPad Air (3rd generation and later)
  • iPad Pro 11-inch (all generations)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later)


More information about this and other features can be found within the iPad User Guide - this being a direct link to the relevant page for this feature:

Then this feature as well as other new “whizbang”, “new and cool” features of iPadOS 16 are NOT available to your year and model iPad.


Sorry.


Older iPad models will only get the very basic of new features found in iPadOS 16.

The internal CPU is simply not powerful enough and is missing many important CPU hardware features.


This means

NO Stage Manager

NO intelligent background image removal

NO Live text feature


And anything else that needs a much higher Apple “A” or “M” CPU that have Apple's “neural”, learning CPU hardware,,as well as more CPU and GPU processing cores.



Sorry.
